So the Wallabies got there, just. How? Defence, esprit de cours and, yes, undoubtedly some luck. But no one wins a Rugby World Cup…
Fingers crossed then. What do you think of that merger idea? Melbourne-based Brumbies? Wild speculation of course.

There’s quite a few people on here – including this author – saying they are a Rebels fan but agree it should be THEM being cut. That’s an oxymoron – one cancels the other out. You can’t be both!
I agree with a couple of other comments that we are all lying down and taking the fact that an Aussie team must be cut as a fait de compli. Limp as wet lettuce IMO. It should be the Sunwolves & Jaguares that go. Treat it as a failed experiment and move on. The Sunwolves could actually greatly dent the appetite for rugby in Japan pre RWC and the Jag’s play like the ball is covered in stinging nettles. Why is it up to us to ‘globalise’ the game anyway? It was their inclusion that forced the utterly incomprehensible conference system in the first place. The dagger to the heart of Super Rugby.
Rugby in Australia can only recover with a strong Wallabies team. A team that beats everyone else and pushes the ABs hard and even wins once and a while. The only way to enable that is to have the best pool of players possible for Cheik to choose from here in AU. Axing teams has the absolute opposite effect. Forcing even more offshore to become ineligible. Madness!
So the Kiwis are uphappy at the lack of competition for their teams. I can tells ya. There’s something they hate more than winning. That’s LOSING! So why further cement the lack of success for the Wallabies against them by throttling our Super pathways.
